AT the Cross, On the Cross--Sickness a Cross In Itself

When you are ill, for just a few days, or chronically, or terminally ill: the first thing that you may wonder daily---is “how long are we on this Cross for, Lord?” It matters not if it is for a few days, a few weeks, or until death, --or rather it is one you strive to live with for years---slowly ...

Lambs, Hips, and Green Pastures

I was on a gurney being rolled into the operating room. Years of hip pain were now about to end as I was on my way in to get a total hip replacement. I knew it was too late to back out, but I was a little bit nervous. "Does anyone here know the 23rd psalm?" I asked. No one did. A nurse asked if I ha... (www.catholic365.com)

Once you choose hope, anything's possible.

What do you hope for? For many of us I suspect the litany would likely include good health, wealth and happiness. Maybe your hope is to finally lose a few pounds and get back in shape or that your friend’s cancer would go into remission, that you have a few less bills to pay each month or that you...

Christmas shopping? Consider BUYcotting--if you must buy!

Given a myriad of options for how and where to spend our hard-earned dollars this holiday buying season—and all year, actually-- a recent televised news story about this group’s goal to identify and to encourage support for Faith-friendly companies made a lot of sense to me. I hope it makes sense to... (www.catholic365.com)

Reflections of Faith: Part One

Faith is not always something that is easy to explain let alone describe. You know it is there, even if you cannot see it. You can just feel it. Like the cool night air, you cannot see it, but feel it around you.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Spirit of John the Baptist

Each advent with the readings of John the Baptist, I am reminded of one in my youth, one whom I perceived as a great prophet, one who would bring unity to our country with equal justice for all. America then would become like Israel of old, and bring truth to all nations.... (www.catholic365.com)

In this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis has called upon the Church to be a witness of God’s mercy to the world. Mercy is kindness that isn’t deserved. It’s forgiveness unearned. That’s what God’s love is all about. While on the cross, Jesus asked the Father to “forgive them, for they know not w... (www.catholic365.com)

The Family That -

Remember the phrase we saw advertised on television back in the 1950's? “The family that prays together –stays together.” This came from the Family Rosary Crusade, started by Servant of God Patrick Peyton, an Irish-American priest.

The best prophets lead you up to the curtain and let you peer through for yourself.

Prophets make us feel very uncomfortable when they speak. While their message may be instructive or consoling at times, they usually challenge the lowly and the powerful to clean up their act and pay attention to what God is doing. John the Baptist was such a prophet. He is one of the principle char... (www.catholic365.com)

The most precious thing we have to give is our time.

This gospel reminds me of the folk tale, “Stone Soup”. Although there is no miracle in the story, in the end, it may be very much what Jesus, through this gospel, meant to teach us. Villagers in the story were starving, and a new-comer suggested that they boil water in a large pot and add a stone; ... (www.catholic365.com)

Mother of My Lord

One of the things which always astounded me. Astounds me to this day, really, is the fact that a Protestant and a Catholic can look at the same verse and come up with two radically different understandings of that verse.... (www.catholic365.com)

ASAP (always say a prayer)

“Prayer is to Christians as breathing is to humans.” When I heard those words it brought prayer to a whole new level for me. If that is truly what prayer is then that means I need prayer to survive. Prayer isn’t just for the monks and cloistered nuns but for you and me.... (www.catholic365.com)

Unless you are related to Rip Van Winkle and have inherited his ability to sleep for years at a time, you know of the spread of Islamic terrorism that has plagued the world.
